    2006 Boss 302 Mustang?

    A little history lesson and interesting tidbits courtesy of "Mustang Race Cars" by John Craft and "The Boss 302 Trans-Am Site". There were only 7 "Boss 302" race cars built in 1969. Three went to Shelby American, three went to Holman and Moody, and the seventh to Smokey Yunick for Nascar...

    2006 Boss 302 Mustang?

    Hmmm...how can Ford scam it's own name and legend...... :shrug: Funny....I don't see many owners of vintage Mach 1's throwing such a hissy fit about the new Mach 1.

    2006 Boss 302 Mustang?

    Like I said, the Speed World Challenge or the ALMS GTS class would be the perfect showcase for a BOSS 302 resurrection. Let's hope Ford wakes up to this.

    2006 Boss 302 Mustang?

    Juts like the 427 concept isn't really a 427, because it has a 7.0L V-10. :shrug: Geez Louis...fer chrissakes people, it's not 1970 anymore ok. The Boss 302 was a great car...it's main purpose in life was to handle...to compete and win in the Trans-Am series. Which it did, that's where the...

    IRS vs. Live Axle

    I've made my feelings known more than often. Even though I feel the IRS should be standard on the GT.....I voted for IRS as option. It makes everybody happy....the drag racers keep their old tech rear end, and those who want it...can pony up the extra couple of bucks for the IRS.

    Ford GT Superbowl comercial

    Actually, the best Hemi commercial is the one Ford did for the 2004 Ford F-150. Red Ford F-150 pulling a 1967 Shelby GT-350 pulls up to a black Dodge pulling a 68 Challenger... Ford driver; "That thing have a Hemi...." Dodge driver; "Yeah...." Ford leaves Dodge eating it's dust at...

    Quick 05 question

    No Mustang can be too loud (unless your city says otherwise) Supposedly, with the new car, the NVH levels are supposed to be dramatically improved...so all the thing that make the Mustang too loud inside will probably dissappear. Just as long as I can hear the throaty rumblewhen I step on the...

    2006 Boss 302 Mustang?

    I honestly would not have a problem with that. Keep it around 30 grand...and I'm sold. Otherwise...fugget about it.

    Ford GT Superbowl comercial

    Honestly...I love it..... And..this will sound soft...but it gives you hope about Ford in general. Plus...I am sooo sick of "Does that thing have a Hemi?" :barf:

    Ford GT Superbowl comercial

    That commercial friggin rocked.... I don't know if the drag racers would appreciate it though.......it involves powerslides and actually turning. Heck...they'd rip out the rear end and figure a way to graft a 9" back there. ;)

    Why I'll wait for the SVT Mustang

    Oh well..one thing I have learned about Mustangers is they're never happy with their cars...otherwise the Mustang aftermarket would have died 10 years ago. Heck...I'lll bet you if there is a special edition with IRS on it and more power, the drag guys will complain as to why a special edition...

    Honesty, dumb question? RX8 or new Stang?

    Eh...it was 10 years ago and I was my second year in college...one big alcoholic haze. But you are correct sir...1993 was the year he bought it.

    Honesty, dumb question? RX8 or new Stang?

    My best friend is enamored with Mazdas. He had a 1993 RX-7 GTU that he absolutely loved. Now he's seriously looking at buying an RX-8. He always said if he were to buy a performance or sporty car, it would be a Mazda with a rotary. That is until he saw the 05 Mustang. He alwasy made fun of me...

    IRS poll

    You're right..it doesn't need it. But heck. it's doesn't need a 3 vavlve SOHC engine with VVT to make 300 hp, the Mach 1 DOHC would have done the job just as well. But the IRS would have made the car better.

    IRS poll

    IRS...an accesory.....oook, there are million of over accesorized cars out there then. I just don't understand all this hostility towards IRS. It will make the car better...what's so evil about that? And don't tell me cost either...because that's the biggest fallacy being thrown around here.

    2006 Boss 302 Mustang?

    What's with this anymosity towards the IRS. :shrug:

    2006 Boss 302 Mustang?

    Don't tell the Chevy guys...but the Boss 351 is considered the fastest and most powerful small block engine of it's time. Anyways...to weigh in on this issue. Frankly...if the car's going ot be called a Boss 302, then it's got to have a 302. It's an open secret that Ford's been having trouble...

    The Complaint Department

    I don't believe anybody who advocates the IRS is saying it's not a factor, but I think it's being overblown to the point where people feel if the car had IRS...all of a sudden it's getting Cobra price territory.
